It is single seat so they must be flying here in a support plane or 4 jets; but if they have 4 jets then it seems they would all do the flyover.Scruffy said:
I thought the F35 is a single seat fighter.....
If only 2 planes, how are there 4 crew?

From what i understand about F35 reliability you need to bring 4 to have 2 that will fly.

If you heard the sound of freedom a few minutes ago...
They have arrived and made a few passes over town.

Yep!
The boys ran outside as soon as they heard them
It has been confirmed there will only be 2 jets.
Copied from Iceman on Premium. A breakdown of the flyover crew.Quote:
There are only two F-35's coming and they are single seaters. Article is a little bit incorrect.
Maj Maxwell "Dojo" Anthony '12 is the flight lead.
Second Pilots name is Capt Ian "Iron" Mehl.
1st Lt. Kaleb Reynolds '21 is their lead maintenance officer.
Capt. Matthew Nicholas is a pilot, but assuming the role of forward air controller to coordinate the flyover.
They don't have F-35's that are single and two seaters like the F-18?

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

1st edited pic from todays close encounter with CONAN01 and 02 as the arrived in style over College Station. Landing at KCLL to perform the flyover at tomorrows TAMU Football game.
To go with my last, here is CONAN02 making their high speed pass before landing at KCLL. Pretty happy with this one as it took very minimal edits to make a fantastic shot.

They all appear fine for me.

My oldest flies a 17
What an absolute hoot it would be for him to be involved in a flyover at Olsen.
The screams I would scream and the tears I would cry.
The planes flew so high they were not in my video

When you have to worry about catastrophic failure and punching out you fly high.

The actual flyover with the sun reflecting on the planes.
These pics are from the 2 passes they made over west campus after the flyover.

Thanks for the photos.
Flyover was too dang high!
Does anyone know if the Commemorative Air Force or any similar groups do flyovers?
Some old warbirds for Veterans' Day would be awesome.
